I think I know what your asking here. First. The reason the CPU is showing a 2.0 GHz speed is because your MOBO has some power saving option that keeps it lower until needed. If you want it to always run at 2.6 then disable a function in the BIOS called EIST. Should be in the advanced BIOS.

Cache and Mainboard are fine.

Now , the RAM. This has me confused. Either you do not have PC-6400 or something is wrong. Its showing 320MHz which means your actual RAM speed is 640MHz. Remember , DDR2 is Double Data Rate so any number you see thier is X2. Make sure your RAM really is PC 6400 and not PC 5300.

Wait , Just took a better look. How do you have your RAM in your RAM slots? Do you have RAM slot 1 and 2 hooked up or Slots 1 and 3?

The stuff I said about the CPU is still true though.

EDIT: Also , did you try any OC'ing?

I havent tried OCing yet. Im still doing some reading on it

My videocard is being OCed through Catalyst

As for my RAM, they're set in the first two slots. Now, I know Duel channel is normally slots one and three, or 2 and four. But I read the motherboard's manual and it indicated that the first two slots are duel channel, as are the last two.

You cannot have 300MHz RAM if you have PC6400 , thats 800MHz. if you had PC 5300 which is 667MHz that would still be odd. If you bought the sticks could you link them? Also , try the slot 1,3 instal.
